Chapter 142: Three Joys Are Coming

Those who win the hospital test are called Xiucai, those who win the township test are called lifters, those who will try to win are called tribute scholars, and those who win the palace test are called Jinshi. From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Ming Dynasty, the examinations at this level can be described as distinct. Although Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang stopped opening the imperial examination for more than ten years, this road is still called the right way by the world's scholars. Even if you are from a poor background, as long as this article is on the right mind of the examiner, once you are promoted, it will be a carp jumping over the dragon gate. As a result, the scale of this tribute temple has become larger and larger year by year.

Unless the Gongshi encounters Ding Worry or illness, the palace test has never been degraded, so being able to be on the list of Gongshi means that a Jinshi title is firmly in hand, and as long as he does not make any mistakes, it is quite considerable to survive until he is old. Because of this reason, every day when the list is released, there is a sea of people in front of the wall, and almost every person who comes to take the exam comes in person, just hoping to see his name appear on the list.

Zhang Yue didn't go to join in the fun today, but sat at the desk and stared at a book. Zhang Fu has done everything he can, and what should he do now? It should have been a month since Du Zhen arrived in Shandong, but until now there has not been a letter coming, which has to make him think a lot. As for Gongshi, he really has nothing to worry about, Zhang Fudu has already said that to that point, even if he doesn't win, he will wait for another three years at most.

"Yue'er."

Hearing this call, Zhang Yue looked up and saw that it was his mother Sun, so he hurriedly stood up and greeted him. In his memory, the Sun family only took care of housework and nothing else, and rarely stepped into his study, and today's trip was really rare.

"If you don't know, when you see that you are as stable as Mount Tai here, you still think that you don't care if you can get in." Although there was some anger in Sun's tone, there was a smile on his face. Seeing Zhang Yue's sneering, she smiled and said, "Your father said that he wouldn't go after breakfast, but in the end he rushed to Chengtianmen, saying that he was better than others to report good news." He was there all night last night, nagging you whether you hit or not, and he was even more verbose than a woman like me. ”

knew that Mrs. Wang had sent more than a dozen family members to look outside Chengtianmen to see the list, but Zhang Yue didn't expect that his father Zhang Zuo would actually run away in person, such a comparison. He seems to be a little too good. Just as he was about to say something, Qiu Zhen's crisp voice came from outside: "Mrs., young master, the old lady's sister Lingxi brought someone here." ”

As he spoke, the curtain was raised high, and he saw Lingxi walking in, followed by several housekeepers' daughters-in-law in their early thirties, all holding a lot of silk in their hands. She was wearing a moon-white satin armor with a white silk and red-dyed piping skirt underneath. It looks fresh and elegant. After coming forward to bow and bow, she motioned for the little girl to come up with something in her hand.

The old lady said that from the end of the year before last year to last year, there was something in a row, and the family cut those sets before, not to mention the girl. Even the three wives did not make a few new clothes. Now that the checkpoints have passed, the silk and satin brought by the family are no longer fresh, these good ones are used to make clothes for the wives and young masters, and the rest will be distributed to the big girls and little girls in the house when the time comes. It's also good for everyone to be happy. ”

Sun is not a newly married daughter-in-law for a long time, and naturally does not pay much attention to clothes and jewelry. After asking Lingxi, she learned that she had come here straight first, and she was extremely happy in her heart, and she didn't care about picking things. Randomly chose two silks and a few silks, she suddenly thought that if her son was in high school, he would inevitably need a blue straight shirt for the palace exam, so she picked another blue silk. Each of the girls left a green satin.

After packing these up, she found out that this was her son's inner study, and it was not appropriate to do these things, so she hurriedly took a few housekeepers and daughters-in-law outside. And Lingxi saw Zhang Yue return to the bookcase to pack up his things, and after a moment of silence, he stepped forward and whispered: "Third young master, if you have time in the past two days, please go to the old lady alone, the old lady should have something to say to you." ”

Zhang Yue originally thought that Lingxi came just for those trivial things just now. At first glance, I couldn't help but be stunned. I wanted to ask again, but I saw that Lingxi had already lifted the curtain and went out. Hearing a group of women laughing and laughing, they went out the door to the main room. He had no choice but to give up his intention to ask, wondering if this was what his grandmother Gu meant, or did Lingxi sense something, so he specially reminded him?

More than an hour passed, Zhang Yue was on the verge of writing, and suddenly he only heard a strange sound, but the curtain was knocked open with great force, and it was amber when he looked at it. With a rare change in her expression in the past, she was full of surprise at this time, and took a deep breath before she folded her hands and bowed.

"Congratulations, young master, the twenty-third place in the high school entrance examination, and the master is two hundred and thirteen!"

"The young master is in high school, and the master is also in high school!"

At this time, the person who rushed in was Qiu Zhen, her face was full of happy smiles, and she didn't care that Amber had already reported the good news, but she repeated it several times in a row, and then shouted again: "In the past, it was either the eldest master who was promoted or the second master made meritorious contributions, but now our master and young master are all in the department, this is a great joy!" The old lady has not yet come back, and many of the good news have already come to the door, and the old lady has not had time to speak, and the British duchess has already sent people to reward the best people one by one! ”

At first, when he heard that he had been hit, Zhang Yue was only slightly stunned, and when he heard that his father Zhang Zuo had also been hit, he felt a heartfelt surprise - compared to his father's lifting four years ago, this is of course more worthy of joy, after all, Jinshi has always been much rarer than lifting, isn't my mother just looking forward to this day? Thinking of this, he dropped the pen in his hand and hurried out, but when he came to the door of the outhouse, he remembered something again, and hurriedly turned back.

"What about the robe you two made last time? Hurry up and take it out for me to put on, it will look even more festive when the time comes! ”

Autumn Scar and Amber remembered that there was such a thing, and their hearts were overjoyed, and they hurriedly opened the wardrobe and found the dress. Zhang Luo changed it to Zhang Yue, and seeing that he was in good spirits and refreshing, Qiu Zhen went to find a Weiluo Huayang scarf and recombed Zhang Yue's hair, and then followed Zhang Yue out of the door. The three of them came all the way to Gu's upper room, Zhang Chao opened up and Zhang Zhen happened to rush together, and the brothers inevitably congratulated Zhang Yue again, and they didn't enter the room until they had enough toss.

In the past, the Gu family paid the most attention to decent rules, and these juniors could never tolerate the noise outside the door, but today they didn't care about these bad rules. Seeing Zhang Yue come forward to salute, she hurriedly pulled him up, and after saying a few words, she caught a glimpse of the pattern of the clothes on his body. She was originally from the past, and after pondering it for a while, she understood the meaning, and smiled immediately.

"This brother Yue is smart, and the girl under his hand is also smart, look at the three halberds in this vase, isn't it just three levels in a row? This idea is estimated to be either Autumn Scar or Amber, and those little girls are definitely not so dedicated. ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly explained: "Grandmother guessed correctly, this dress is indeed made by autumn marks and amber, but not recently, they originally thought about the first township test, so they designed such an auspicious pattern." ”

Mrs. Wang glanced at Amber Autumn Scar, thinking that she was not there before, and the two young girls were in charge of the housekeeping of Nuoda's family, not only in order, but also those account book entries were also clear, and after the handover of power, they didn't care about anything, so it was really rare for a girl who knew how to be measured, so she also helped to say two good words.

"Auntie really guessed right. If you want me to say, Brother Yue is indeed good at regulating people, not to mention that Autumn Scars and Amber are good at doing things, and they are also good people, and they never rely on their power to bully their subordinates. Xiyu and Biluo around me have been with me for many years, and they may not be stronger than them in some things. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered that Amber was the one sent by her own family before, and she felt even closer in her heart. Since she was the one who had already sent it out, she was not in charge of the reward and punishment, so she didn't say anything else.

Gu was happy in his heart, and it happened to be a happy event, so he instructed the Lingxi next to him: "Today is the day of your third master and the third young master's high school joy. Others will also remember in the future that if I serve my master with my heart and know how to persuade my master to become a talent, I will never hesitate to reward him. But if there are those who have evil intentions, I will never spare them! ”

On this happy day, no one expected that the Gu family would suddenly burst out with such a sentence, not to mention that a group of girls brushed together and saluted and said yes, even the three daughters-in-law of the Feng family, the Dongfang family, and the Sun family were all in their hearts. Mrs. Wang on the side deeply felt that the Gu family was rigorous, and seeing that other people's children and grandchildren were full, she couldn't help but think of the emptiness under her knees, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling of mixed tastes.

Not long after, Zhang Zuo also rushed home, and after going to the upper room to ask Gu for peace, when he was talking with him, his voice unconsciously raised slightly. Sweating profusely outside the crowded Chengtian Gate, but at this time, there was an unstoppable excitement in his heart. Although I thought that if my son was hit, I wouldn't worry if I fell off the list, but when I watched the list there before, the feeling that even my heart was about to jump out of my throat was not only for my son, but also for myself.

Zhang Fu did not return until the evening. He had already known the news, so he ordered a banquet to be held in the flower hall, and the whole family celebrated lively. Who knew that after such a noisy night, Mrs. Wang felt unhappy in the middle of the night, and in the morning people were lazy and didn't think about it, so Biluo and Xiyu were busy with Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered people to go to the Huichun Hall to ask for a doctor. He went to court again, and for fear that something would be wrong, he personally went to the Gu family to ask for help to take care of it.

Who would have thought that when the middle-aged slender doctor came in a hurry, stretched out his finger through the curtain and gently touched the pulse of his wrist, and after muttering for a long time, he said a shocking sentence with a smile.

"Congratulations, madam, this is a joy!"
